So cool! My great-grandparents came up to the Bruce in 1852 and made a homestead near Arkwright. I lived in Port Elgin for 30 years and still visit at least once a week.
I love port elgin
My mother grew up in Port Elgin and returned when she retired. I spent many a summer enjoying its many charms & gifts at our cottage there. My son & his family have continued the saga.
Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks for sharing!
Had a cottage here in the 80s and early 90s. Some of the best times. Best beach in ontario. Wish the mini train that ran from the main beach and up towards north shore road was still there
I've recently started enjoying local Ontario history and the culture from previous decades, this is a really good video series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed watching this and was happy to got to visit there more than once. Dad was born and raised there before heading west to teach school.
As much as our town has changed, this video is a good reminder of how much of it is still the same.
Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for showing us things from our past.
I am 41yrs old and a 5th generation local. Loved watching this video. Thank you
Just fantastic! Thank you!
Liked the history aspect of these people and Indian history spoken here.
OMG!! I know Ron Beaupre!! His son is a friend of mine!! I wanna say small world, but its Port Elgin so DUH!!
Great video. Blast from the past. The old church at Chippewa was beautiful. Sadly it was burnt down.
Three churches were burned down that night, if memory serves me correct.
Great video love seeing the old town
Good 👍
These films were made in the 80s, must be different now.
I live in the area. Its very different but you can see some of the exact same buildings downtown...I came here 1st in 1998 w my Dad so its been really neat to see some remaining landmarks💛

Thanks for your knowledge Pam.
I think the township commission for architecture may have something to do with preserving the core image.
Cheers.
Nope.
cute and interesting but imo lacks some early historical trivia ( except for that bit at 4:00 and then that bit at 9:00 about John Spence ) .. like the 1840's when the Saugeen ( Chiefs ) were selling this area to the British while the native were struggling with the Manitoulin Island treaties and then the early pioneers like Proudfoot and others who brought with them the bank interests which led to the railroaders connecting it all to the Hanover and Guelph and Toronto area... 21:00 ... time will tell if the European invasion will have been an act of refinement by some who sell themselves as civilized while working every angle to control and manipulate nature and this bountiful earth...
Very interesting!
Could you please put links to the others in the series in the description?
They are all on their TH-cam page
Live here for the last 7 years, had to move, no housing
Hey do you got one for sue st Marie?
It's not on the list. I still can't get over how many cities Conrad went to. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@beavercreekpictures9809 yes fantastic thankyou!
We’re there any missing Indian native children missing during Queen’s visit ❓❓❓
“South Hampton”. What a cheesy name! Almost like if you just took a name from somewhere else like London or Paris… oh wait.
There’s a child predator named Jeff Nihls that lives in Port Elgin. Keep your children safe everyone!
